I saw it a year or so later, being ridden by a dignified-looking fellow not too far from my home. He'd no doubt purchased the bike in good faith, and I have to admit he had kept it up nicely. I didn't have the heart to pursue the matter...nor the proof of ownership.

EDIT: It would seem that bike on Ebay is being sold in the state of New Jersey. I wonder if it could be my oldie?
It would be quite a turn of events if that is the case! The guy selling it responded that he was selling it for his father, and since you mentioned "a dignified-looking fellow", it may fit your description. It is currently in Gloucester County and it appears the guy is a bit of a bike collector.
